“Gooligan” Android Malware Hijacks Google Accounts

Over a million Google accounts have been hacked with Gooligan, a new malware that roots vulnerable Android devices to steal email addresses and authentication tokens stored on them. This information allows attackers to hijack your Google account and steal sensitive information from Google apps, such as Gmail, Google Photos, Google Docs, Google Play, Google Drive, and G Suite.

Traces of Gooligan code have been found in dozens of Android apps that seem legitimate on third-party app stores. Once the malware is downloaded and installed on the device, Gooligan starts sending your device’s stolen information to its Command and Control server. Android devices running an older version of the operating system, such as Android 4.x (Jelly Bean, KitKat) and 5.x (Lollipop) are most at risk.
